My Solar Exploits
(current image of the beast)
Spent almost all of yesterday trying to figure out why/how to display/view multiple battery status. Now that I have (currently) two rack-mount batteries I thought I'd be able to see the status of each one separately....but nothing in the inverter appears to support that and Solar Assistant is not doing it either. It may be a software issue I'm thinking...this inverter was recently added to the Solar Assistant arsenal apparently.
BTW after a couple of days using Solar Assistant .... I"M LOVING IT! Way more information (and historical information! in charts and graphs) than I was able to glean from the Ecoflow Delta Pro or the new 10K Sungold inverter.
I've now got a majority of my house (via transfer switch) running from solar/battery - Office, Internet, TV/Radio/Entertainment center, Refrigerator, Toaster Oven, Microwave, Furnace (gas) but blower is electric, various overhead lights and plugs. Just looking at my transfer switch and breaker box only one minor transfer circuit (of the 6) is still on grid power as of yesterday and seem to have made it through the night without issues. I'll try to keep it running like this through November and see what the difference in Grid Power Consumption is. Hopefully my 3 additional rack mount batteries and the rack will arrive soon...but no word yet from the vendor - Sungold. The did charge my credit card of course ... a week ago!! and still no shipment date! Grrrrrr!!!
Need to decide on where/how to more permanently mount the inverter and batteries and how to run the wiring etc. to hopefully meet code requirements at some point in the future. Also thinking that I may need a few more solar panels ... particularly for the cloudy/snowy/dark strings of days.
Sincerely,
Your Fellow Sun Worshipper :)
